Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of universal joint dust cover, specifically relates to a universal joint dust cover. BACKGROUND
[0002] The universal joint is a machine part for realizing variable-angle power transmission, the constant-velocity universal joint comprises a female part at the end of an input shaft and a male part at the end of an output shaft, the female part at the end of the input shaft comprises a shell, the male part at the end of the output shaft comprises a rolling bearing, the rolling bearing comprises a three-pronged shaft and a roller, and the rolling bearing is adapted to be inserted into the shell through the open end of the shell of the female part. Power is transmitted from an engine or a motor to a gear transmission box, transmitted to the input shaft and the female part through the gear transmission box, and transmitted to the male part from the female part, and the female part and the male part rotate at a constant speed. The male part can also axially slide and angularly move in the female part, and the rolling bearing of the male part rolls when the male part slides relative to the female part.
[0003] In order to increase the service life of the universal joint, a dust cover is usually installed to reduce the influence of the external environment, and the universal joint dust cover seals the lubricating grease in the universal joint, so that the grease will not leak during use. After the dust cover is sleeved on the driving shaft universal joint connector, one open end of the dust cover is sleeved on the output shaft, and the other open end is sleeved on the open end of the female part shell. However, in order to prevent the male part of the universal joint from being pulled out of the shell of the female part, the existing dust cover usually directly limits the male part of the universal joint, which generates a large impact force and easily damages the dust cover.
[0004] The patent with the publication number CN208651470U discloses a dust cover and a driving shaft assembly using the same, which is provided with a dust cover, an abutting wall, a wave trough, a universal joint body, a universal joint shell, a connecting part, a universal joint shaft rod, a driving shaft and the like. The diameter of the wave trough connected with the outer wall is smaller than the diameter of the universal joint body, so that the wave trough has a limiting effect, preventing the universal joint body and the shaft rod from being pulled out of the universal joint shell, further preventing the pulled-out universal joint body and the shaft rod from damaging the dust cover, and preventing the lubricating oil from leaking.
[0005] However, the above-mentioned scheme limits the universal joint body through the wave trough, and the two are directly limited by collision, which generates a large impact force on the wave trough itself, reduces the service life of the dust cover, and has poor practicability.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the technical scheme as follows:

[0011] The present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] With the circumferential shoulder part, the roller can be directly limited, and the roller is prevented from separating from the shell. Meanwhile, with the limiting block, the resistance that the roller receives during sliding towards the outside of the shell becomes greater and greater, and the three-pronged shaft and the limiting block become more and more tightly engaged, thereby playing a buffering role, pre-releasing the locking force or friction force, and preventing the roller from directly colliding with the circumferential shoulder part with a large impact force, thereby ensuring the service life of the dust cover body.

[0021] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, and those skilled in the art should know that the embodiments described below are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0022] As Figures 1-5 Indicated, the technical scheme adopted by the utility model is as follows: a dust cover for universal joint, the universal joint includes a female piece at the end of the input shaft 11 and a male piece at the end of the output shaft (not shown in the drawing). The female piece includes a shell 1, which can be a three-column groove shell, and the male piece includes a rolling bearing, which includes a three-pronged shaft 7 and a roller 8, which is inserted into the shell 1 through the open end of the shell 1 of the female piece. The input shaft 11 drives the female piece to rotate, and the female piece drives the male piece to rotate at the same speed, and the male piece can also axially slide and make swing angle movement in the shell 1 of the female piece, thereby driving the output shaft to rotate at the same speed.
[0023] The dust cover main body 2 includes a corrugated cylinder 21 arranged in a conical shape, one end of the corrugated cylinder 21 is provided with a first open end 22, the other end is provided with a second open end 23, the opening of the first open end 22 is smaller than the opening of the second open end 23. The second open end 23 is connected with the open end of the shell 1 in a matched manner, and the first open end 22 is connected with the output shaft (not shown in the drawing) of the universal joint in a matched manner. One end of the output shaft is connected with the three-pronged shaft 7, and the output shaft is provided with one end of the three-pronged shaft 7 inserted into the open end of the shell 1, as Figure 5 Indicated, the three ends of the three-pronged shaft 7 are provided with rollers 8, and the three ends of the three-pronged shaft 7 are cambered ends 71.
[0024] As Figure 4As shown, the inner wall of the second open end 23 of the dust cover body 2 is fixedly provided with three spaced-apart protrusions 4, which divide the second open end 23 into three spaced-apart recesses 5. The recesses 5 correspond to the three rollers 8 on the trident shaft 7 one by one, and each roller 8 slides in the corresponding recess 5.
[0025] A limiting block 3 is fixedly arranged in each recess 5, and the limiting block 3 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the dust cover body 2 through a reinforcing rib 31. The limiting block 3 is provided with a limiting inclined surface near the end of the shell 1, and the limiting block 3 is in abutting and buffering limiting cooperation with the arc surface end 71 of the trident shaft 7 of the universal joint male part through the limiting inclined surface. Meanwhile, the inner wall of the dust cover body 2 is provided with a circumferential shoulder 32, which is used for abutting and limiting cooperation with the roller 8 of the universal joint male part.
[0026] Through the arrangement of the circumferential shoulder 32, the roller 8 can be directly limited, and the roller 8 is prevented from being separated from the shell 1. Meanwhile, under the arrangement of the limiting block 3, the resistance that the roller 8 receives during the sliding process towards the outside of the shell 1 becomes larger and larger, and the effect of the arc surface end 71 of the trident shaft 7 and the limiting block 3 becomes tighter and tighter, thereby playing a buffering role, releasing the locking force or friction force in advance, avoiding the roller 8 from directly colliding with the circumferential shoulder 32 with a large impact force, and thereby ensuring the service life of the dust cover body 2.
[0027] Working principle: the input shaft 11 can drive the output shaft to rotate at the same speed through the cooperation of the shell 1 and the trident shaft 7. During the rotation of the output shaft, the roller 8 will axially roll and swing in the shell 1.
[0028] When the trident shaft 7 moves to the limit position of the open end of the shell 1, the dust cover body 2 is in a stretched state, and the roller 8 gradually enters the second open end 23. The limiting inclined surface of the limiting block 3 will abut against the arc surface end 71 of the trident shaft 7, thereby buffering and decelerating the universal joint male part, and thereby avoiding the universal joint male part from directly colliding with the circumferential shoulder 32 with a large impact force, and thereby ensuring the service life of the dust cover body 2.
[0029] Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalently replace part of the technical features, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
